Funky_Gibbon   42 #13 Posted November 6, 2010 The most unreliable things in Sheffield! I waited nearly half an hour for one which was due 3 mins after I arrived at the stop  Half an hour? Is that all? In the last 5 days I've had to wait a minimum of an hour for a 45 bus from Meadowhall despite arriving 5-10 minutes early each time, with a wait of 1 hour 45 minutes on Thursday. I also spoke to an old man who got on the same bus on Wednesday and he told me he'd been waiting 3 hours.  Since the clocks changed I haven't seen one turn up on time.

chem1st   10 #15 Posted November 7, 2010 I put forward, the number 53. Case closed.  I had to give a cheer to the 53 bus driver earlier today.  He missed the following turn and hit the kerb twice within a minute. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=sheffield&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Sheffield,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&ei=AQbXTNn6JIeH4Ab7q4TYBw&ved=0CB8Q8gEwAA&ll=53.375106,-1.465031&spn=0.015003,0.038581&z=15&layer=c&cbll=53.375003,-1.465096&panoid=5m1zNzAZk-wgFcAmwtAy3A&cbp=12,351.27,,0,14.81  After doing a large circle he took the right turn. I gave him a cheer and a few others did too lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
curious   10 #16 Posted November 7, 2010 have you tried the new supertram shuttle bus? I don't know if it services the 11 route further up the road but they seem really, really regular, and stagecocah is miles cheaper than first.

BusterJangle   10 #17 Posted November 7, 2010 47 without a doubt the worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
MissMonkey   10 #18 Posted November 7, 2010 I used to catch the 47/48 very regularly without any problems This was a fair few months ago though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Forumosaurus   10 #19 Posted November 7, 2010 Depends what time you catch it, between 9 and 10 am and 5 and 6 pm, they're going to be unreliable due to the rush hours.  But yeah you can only really rely on the very first bus being on time, if it's after that, give yourself an extra half an hour.

hartleycroft   10 #20 Posted November 7, 2010 Well I know alot of people are not going to agree with me but I have had loads of problems with the 52 bus route. I finish work at 5.30pm and can be waithing for at least 30 mins and have once waited 45 min because yes many 52 buses go past but are full so don't let people on, I now take my car to work and would much rather pay the car parking fee and be home in 10 min tan stand in the cold waiting for a bus.

I used to live in Shiregreen, so I know how unreliable the 47/48 can be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I used to live in Shiregreen, so I know how unreliable the 47/48 can be.  i do exactly the same coming home in the morning i can be waiting nearly 40 minutes outside the old library and then 3 will come at the same time and they are supposed to be every 10 mins:rant: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest   #24 Posted November 8, 2010 I agree the 11 is an atrocious service. Which is why I catch the SL2 and the tram now instead. I would very much suggest looking into complaining to Travel South Yorkshire so they're not in ignorant bliss though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
